Liber Psalmorum, 7
0.
0. A Shiggaion of David, which he sang to the LORD concerning Cush a Benjaminite.
1. Lamentatio David, quam cantavit Domino propter Chus Beniaminitam.
1. O LORD my God, in thee do I take refuge; save me from all my pursuers, and deliver me,
2. Domine Deus meus, in te speravi; salvum me fac ex omnibus persequentibus me et libera me,
2. lest like a lion they rend me, dragging me away, with none to rescue.
3. ne quando rapiat ut leo animam meam discerpens, dum non est qui salvum faciat.
3. O LORD my God, if I have done this, if there is wrong in my hands,
4. Domine Deus meus, si feci istud, si est iniquitas in manibus meis,
4. if I have requited my friend with evil or plundered my enemy without cause,
5. si reddidi retribuenti mihi mala et exspoliavi inimicum meum dimittens inanem,
5. let the enemy pursue me and overtake me, and let him trample my life to the ground, and lay my soul in the dust. [Selah]
6. persequatur inimicus animam meam et comprehendat et conculcet in terra vitam meam et gloriam meam in pulverem deducat.
6. Arise, O LORD, in thy anger, lift thyself up against the fury of my enemies; awake, O my God; thou hast appointed a judgment.
7. Exsurge, Domine, in ira tua et exaltare contra indignationem inimicorum meorum et exsurge, Deus meus, in iudicio, quod mandasti.
7. Let the assembly of the peoples be gathered about thee; and over it take thy seat on high.
8. Et synagoga populorum circumdabit te, et super hanc in altum regredere:
8. The LORD judges the peoples; judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness and according to the integrity that is in me.
9. Dominus iudicat populos. Iudica me, Domine, secundum iustitiam meam et secundum innocentiam meam, quae est in me.
9. O let the evil of the wicked come to an end, but establish thou the righteous, thou who triest the minds and hearts, thou righteous God.
10. Consumatur nequitia peccatorum; et iustum confirma: scrutans corda et renes Deus iustus.
10. My shield is with God, who saves the upright in heart.
11. Adiutorium meum apud Deum, qui salvos facit rectos corde.
11. God is a righteous judge, and a God who has indignation every day.
12. Deus iudex iustus, fortis, irascens per singulos dies.
12. If a man does not repent, God will whet his sword; he has bent and strung his bow;
13. Nonne iterum gladium suum exacuit, arcum suum tetendit et paravit illum?
13. he has prepared his deadly weapons, making his arrows fiery shafts.
14. Et paravit sibi vasa mortis, sagittas suas ardentes effecit.
14. Behold, the wicked man conceives evil, and is pregnant with mischief, and brings forth lies.
15. Ecce parturiit iniustitiam, concepit dolorem et peperit iniquitatem;
15. He makes a pit, digging it out, and falls into the hole which he has made.
16. lacum aperuit et effodit eum et incidit in foveam, quam fecit.
16. His mischief returns upon his own head, and on his own pate his violence descends.
17. Convertetur dolor eius in caput eius, et in verticem ipsius iniquitas eius descendet.
17. I will give to the LORD the thanks due to his righteousness, and I will sing praise to the name of the LORD, the Most High.
18. Confitebor Domino secundum iustitiam eius et psallam nomini Domini Altissimi.
18.
